[AlmaMartyr]

Kateyjane - lovely to hear from you but so sorry about your news :( I don't know what to say but I hope your appointment goes well. Hope you're able to get support from here, thinking of you.

[pamelat]

kateyjane, hello, I am thinking of you. I hope you get positive news with the consultant. I am very sad to hear your news. Thinking of you xx

[Carikube]

kateyjane - thinking of you and hoping that poor Thomas isn't in too much discomfort. I have to admit that I know pretty much nothing about the condition so don't want to say anything too trite but I wish him, you and your family the best possible outcome in the situation xxx

[kateyjane]

Thank you x

[Den26]

Kateyjane that is awful news, thinking of you and your family. Hope your getting the support you need.

[TomlinTowers]

Kateyjane, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hope the appointment on Monday gives you the information and support you need to help Thomas xxxx

[schipo]

Thinking of you and Thomas too Kateyjane. Hope that your family are looking after you well. I might take up praying for you too. Will certainly be hoping for the best for you on Monday x

[DancingThroughLife]

Katey, so sad to hear that. I must admit I've never heard of the condition so I've had a quick google. You are all being so strong.

Please keep us updated with Thomas's progress if you get the chance. I know you have much bigger priorities than us though I hope things go as well as they can on Monday. Will be thinking of you xx

[Pigleychez]

Katey- What awful news! Thinking of you all and will be thinking of you all on Monday. I hope the professor is able to help you. :(

[kateyjane]

Thank you, I really do appreciate your support x

[getoffme]

i'll add my support too, i must admit i know nothing about the condition, but hope you get good news with the consultant...

[cupcakefairy]

Oh gosh kateyjane I'm so so sorry to hear your news :( poor Thomas, and poor you and the whole family. You sound so strong though; I don't think I would be in that frame of mind in your position.
I really hope you're getting support from wider family and friends - don't be afraid to offload on here if you need to, I just can't imagine what you're going through. Thoughts and prayers with you xxx

den I'm away for weekend so wanted to wish you, dh and Rian well for tomorrow. I know it's been a long time coming so it will finally be over after tomorrow. Really hope it all goes smoothly and you get some lovely medical staff looking after you all.

carikube hope all ok with you. My dh has thankfully been transferred to another department now with a new permanent contract and slight pay rise :) so v good outcome.. the company have made him redundant twice now and he's still hanging on!! Haha.

Thankfully no chickenpox here, though we have had a nasty bout of d & v and doc seemed to be suggesting that might've been the chickenpox virus just no spots which is interesting cos I never officially had chickenpox as a child even though my siblings all did and my mum reckoned I could have had it really mildly and she didn't notice.

3 teeth here and 3 more on the way. Crawling at top speed, crawling up stairs, cruising, but no standing alone yet...can't believe how soon they are all 1 in fact our first little one Matilda's bday is in just a couple of weeks isn't it

Sorry to dash in and out...ds is emptying pegs all over the floor

[getoffme]

on two feet today here! ok, hanging onto furniture, but who cares, and lovely afternoon playing in the garden...

good wishes for ryan tomorrow...

[pamelat]

Best wishes for Ryan tomorrow

[DancingThroughLife]

Den, will be thinking of you and Rian tomorrow too. Hope it all goes well x

[kateyjane]

Den, will also be thinking about you and Rian. Hope it all goes so well. Take care xxxx

[Carikube]

Den, hope it all goes well tomorrow xx

Cupcake, interview was this week and we'll find out early next week as to whether DH still has a job; he'll definitely have a pay cut if he does but at least he'd still be in work...

[AlmaMartyr]

Den26 - thinking of you and Rian today, hope it all goes well xx

We finally put DS in his own room last week and it's made such a difference to his sleep. He's now never awake more than once (despite being poorly) and mostly sleeps through. Much better than being up 5/6 times which was the norm before. Feeling slightly human again :)

[rachelfruitloop]

Hello all!

Popping in to say that I'm thinking of Rian and you today, Den. Hope that all goes well.

Kateyjane, I'm so sorry that Thomas isn't well. It must be such a nightmare, I can't even imagine. I'll be thinking of you both and hope things don't look too bleak after Monday.

Big hugs to both of you, Den and Katey!
x

[AlmaMartyr]

Katey - have been thinking of you today, hope the appointment was OK.

[rachelfruitloop]

Katey, I also hope your meeting went ok yesterday. You and Thomas are on my mind, praying that things are not looking too terrible for you guys.

Den, I hope that Rian is recovering well after his surgery.

Much love to you all. x

[hollyoaks]

Hi everyone.

I'm back after a long MN break, it all got a bit much on here (on other threads, not this one :)) and at home and I just haven't had the time. The recession has hit us really hard and dh's wage has dropped by 20K (compared to his best ever year) and mine is also lower with being PT. We're barely managing to hold onto the house and it's a real struggle, hence why we started our little business venture which you've probably seen plastered all over fb. Fingers crossed it takes off and dh can have a change of career.

Grace is doing well, we had a check-up with the consultant yesterday and they're really happy with her progress though want to see her again in 6 months as she's quite windy and unsettled (still not sleeping through -yawn) and they have to keep an eye out for adhesions in her bowel. She is covered in infantile acne though which is getting me down slightly as she's so beautiful but it's hidden behind all the redness. :( However, we are extremely lucky to be able to only moan about money and spots when we have two healthy girls.

Katey - I'm so sorry to hear your news, I can't imagine what your going through as I know the tests can take some time. My thoughts are with you all.

Den - I'm pleased to see on fb that Rian's op went well and he was ok. Again my thoughts are with you, I know what that wait is like for them to come back from theatre and the ups and downs during their recovery. I hope he's out tomorrow.

Wow, we've had our fair share of medical problems on the May thread!

It's nice to be back :)

[kateyjane]

Thank you so much for your thoughts and good wishes. We saw Professor Wraith on Monday, who was lovely and I'm actually feeling a bit more positive. He didn't think that Tom had any neurological symptoms at the moment, and things are complicated by his chronic respiratory problems, again he didn't think that these were related. He gave us a lot of hope in that it can be years before patients have any neurological symptoms. Tom had a skin biopsy, which wasn't nice, but he was so good. We get the results in 6 weeks - his birthday week! So I'm trying to stay positive and look towards the future.

Hollyoaks it sounds like you're going through a really tough time. I hope things work out really well with your new business venture. Glad that Grace is making good progress and hope you manage to get some sleep soon!

Very glad that Rian's op went well.

Hope everyone else is okay and doing very well

[AlmaMartyr]

Katey - soo gld that you're more positive, sounds like things might be quite helpful. Bless Tom being good for his biopsy. Hope it's not too frustrating waiting for his test results.

Hollyoaks - glad Grace is doing well, so sorry to hear of your money troubles. I saw your links about the business venture and was wishing I lived close enough to sign up. Hope it goes well for you.

Lots of love to everyone, especially anyone struggling atm.

[babylann]

Hi everyone, I don't know if I posted here before. I am a May 2010 mum, but didn't discover MN until at least a month after she was born. Maybe I could join your thread?

I also wanted to say sorry to kateyjane, but I'm glad you are feeling more positive about it since speaking to an expert.
